    Based on previous times seeing Jack and marking him as having potential, and the nonsense Brand is pulling - I don't understand how the old-timer managed to win the third...but he did. :blood Clearly. Schooled Jack, you might say...if there was a School of Crazy Rough-Housing Nonsense.

    Eddie Mustafa Muhammad is DEMANDING body shots from Badou Jack as he makes his way to the stool.

    Round 4

    Brand is getting away with whatever he wants. Daredevil right hands from outside, combos slapped out high with both hands originating from idle by the the hips. Brand is scoring with hooks and rights from every angle, none of his punches technically correct but all effective against the stymied Jack. Clinch. Brand is grinning and laughing. Jack looks frustrated, is getting a bit dirty trying to shove Brand around. A few straight body jabs by Jack, very tentative. They spill into the ropes and are warned to keep it clean.

    10-9 Brand

    38-38

    Brand is in Jack's head, had him thinking instead of throwing.

    3-1 brand.

    Brand is horrible. Based on what I'm seeing Jack is heading nowhere himself.

    This is a hard fight for a prospect to look good in.

    As harsh as this sounds I think Jack was more hype than anything and I think his last fight was evidence of it-I know Grover isn't easy to stop but he should, if he's as good as the hype, have managed a shut out.

    Round 5

    Brand is still catching Jack with slapping hooks and rights from outside while spooling his head around. Lots of clinches, but Tony Weeks is there to separate them. Jack starts to flip his jab up in the pocket and then hammer over the top with his right hand. Brand is trying to slip but getting caught more, on the cheek and side of the neck. Jack really finding a home for that clubbing right hand. Jack is picking up the work rate, still getting slapped a bit but landing the more effective blows now.

    10-9 Jack

    48-47 Jack

    He turned it up there and clearly took that round.
    3-2 Brand, but Jack is coming on.

    :lol:

    To be fair, Brand has had a mouse on his left cheek since very early on..so Jack was landing the jab in the 1st and 2nd..

    Disagree. Brand is there to be hit. Jack doesn't have any counter punching ability and lacks the hand speed to connect with leads. And looks like he's lost his confidence a bit, not even letting his hands go enough.
